CEC TO BEC UPDATE
Nige brought round his engine hoist this evening, what a nice man he is , cheers nige, took exhaust off yesterday, removed megajolt and coil pack,
disconnected coolant hosses, and unbolted as much of the engine as possible ready for jacking up and lifting the engine out.
Stay tunned tommorow for this gripping episode.

If you do go Brad give me a shout and we may just be able to work something out involving you finishing a little sooner than expected and me getting
my exhaust headers off MK if the dimensions work for fitment into my Tiger.
Cheers

i did a crossflow to bec swap in a month, from lifting the engine to thrashing round a track. Fancy beating that?! We could make it a challenge for
people as they get converted.

Hi all.
Took the gearbox out yesterday and the prop , i thought i would have to remove the diff ,because the prop flange would'nt pass through the
tunnel, but it just needed a bit jigging and it was out.
Just the clock's to remove now, oh ,and to get over a bad back.

The engine has cost me £400, exhaust manifold £150, silencer £20 ebay, propshaft and bearing £20 scrappie,prop alterations MK £80, prop adapter £60,
bike clocks £30, fitting of engine £50, i think thats everything, but i will probably be wrong.

dynojet sorts out your fueling. Due to a less restrictive exhaust and air filter it will probably be running lean, which can melt pistons.
I just drilled my main jets (zx9) to 1.65mm and that sorted it fine. A few quid for a drill bit. I could feel it hesitating at first, once drilled i
got a slow build up of soot, confirmation of richness, which is better than leanness.
You did well on the exhaust! cheap!

You hopefully wont need the dynojet kit so hold off buying that for now. Worth checking the jets in there with a 1.65mm drill bit if thats what they
are supposed to be.

roadrunner,
you mentioned in a previous posting manifold cost of £150. Is this DIY, or do you have a secret source?
I need one for a build (not zx9) at some point, and the cost is a bit scary.
